the act of snapping back, the ball shall be snapped 
back over again. If he is off side three times on the 
same down, the ball shall go to the opposite side. If 
in three consecutive fairs and downs a team shall

foot across the touch line, he must return with the 
ball to the spot where the line was bo crossed, and 
then return it into the field of play in one of the 
modes provided by the following Rule. If the player 
only has his hand over the line it is not out of bounds.

pushed into touch, the ball shall belong in touch to 
the player who first had hold of it in the field of 
play, and has not released his hold of it.

ously, they only may join in the maul.

and thence walk straight out with it at right angles 
to the goal line, to such distance as he thinks proper, 
and there place it for another of his side to kick.

Rules 22 and 53, or himself take a punt on, in which 
case the mark made on making the fair catch shall 
be regarded (for the purpose of determining as well 
the position of the player who makes the punt on as 
of the other players of both sides,) as the mark made 
on the goal line in the oase of & punt out. 

55. A catch made in touch from a punt out or a

be behind the ball when kicked out, and the oppo- 
site side must be on the twenty-five yard line or 
nearer their own goal. 

59. If a player having the ball, when about to punt ci 
it out, goes outside the goal line ; or when about to 
punt on, advances nearer to his own goal line than 
his mark, made on making the fair catch ; or when a 
fair catch has been made, if more than one player on 
the side which made the fair catch touch the ball 
before it is again kicked, the opposite side may 
charge at once. 

60. Charging (i. e., rushing forward to kicK the 
ball, or tackle a player,) is lawful for the opposite 
side in all cases of a place kick after a fair catch, or 
upon a try at goal, immediately the ball touches, or is

cases, may not charge until the ball has been kicked.

tional by the referee, except as before provided, will
